[[Image:LOLFurriesLogo.jpg|right|LOLFurries]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''LOLfurries.org''' is a webforum whose members focus on what they believe are negative aspects of the furry fandom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Addresses''': &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
**'''Original address''': http://www.lolfurries.org/&lt;br /&gt;
**'''Current address''': http://www.furluminati.com&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Founder''': [[Koogs]]&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Administrators''': [[Icono]], [[40oz Hyena]], [[TriSight]]&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ran from/to''':&lt;br /&gt;
**'''As Lolfurries.org''': January 2006 - February 2010&lt;br /&gt;
**'''As The Furluminati''': September 2010 - present&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the forum's content and attitude, LOLfurries is sometimes considered an [[Anti-Furries|anti-fur]] site.  Members had consistently denied this &amp;quot;anti-fur&amp;quot; stance publicly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The board was founded by [[Furtopia]] emigrants whose posts often caused friction with what they perceive as Furtopia's restrictive forum rules. They left in January of 2006, forming a temporary BBS while pursuing webspace and purchasing a domain name.  The website transferred over to a new location in March of 2006. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many posters to LOLfurries where in good standing at Furtopia, and some Furtopia posters joined LOLfurries. Conflicts with Furtopia were an occasional topic on the board, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June of 2007 Koogs handed control of LOLFurries over to 40oz Hyena (Mik Genocide) and Icono, and proceeded to disappear from the furry scene (to [[Wikipedia:GAFIA|gafiate]].)&lt;br /&gt;
{{WikiFurNews|Furtopia forums down after hack}}&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2008, the [[Furtopia]] forum site was hacked and went down. Administrator [[WhiteShepherd]] blamed LOLfurries for the attack, claiming that passwords had been posted on LOLfurries' own forum. However, regulars of LOLfurries disclaimed direct responsibility for the hacker's actions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 2 March the website was replaced by a suspension notice from server administrator [[RabidRick]] criticizing those users and administrators who condoned vandalism. By the end of 3 March, the website was completely removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Post Furtopia attacks ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 12th, it was brought back online, but with Rabid Rick no longer the owner of the domain, but now&lt;br /&gt;
{{q| &amp;quot;Under the control of 'The True LOLFurs' &amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
With Rabid Rick no longer involved with the site due to the the friction over the February attacks on Furtopia. 40oz Hyena reported that everything was: &lt;br /&gt;
{{q|Quite swell... Not to worry, our LULZ Generators are back up to full running capacity}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:LoLDead.png|right|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== Closure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 2010, Icono close the site for unknown reasons, while all activity moved to the [[LiveJournal]] community, [[LMAO FURRIES]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reopening ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Furluminati.png|right|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
On September 2010, LOLFurries.org came back online, forum only, under the prior fake &amp;quot;furry&amp;quot; term, the [[Furspiracy|Furluminati]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tumbles The Stair Dragon ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{disputed}}&lt;br /&gt;
LOLFurries is best known for their direct involvement with the Tumbles the Stair Dragon incident at FWA 07. LOLFurries ejected him from one of their room parties. They were shortly thereafter credited as the ones who coined the name Tumbles the Stair Dragon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several LOLFurs were present at the smoking area where Tumbles jumped, including 40oz Hyena and Icono.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Babyfur Public Service Announcements ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 25 LOLFurries.org released two Public Service Announcements that were intended for Babyfurs. The videos parodied anti-drug and alcohol PSAs. LOLFurries.org claimed it was sending &amp;quot;A message of hope&amp;quot; to Babyfurs and wanted to offer help to 'Heal' them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two Public Service Announcements released by LOLFurries:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Splinter Groups ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''The Infurgency''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Infurgency is/was a small splinter group from LOLFurries comprised mostly of furries who are also [[Anonymous]]. Getting their name from the former /i/nsurgent board on [[420chan]], which was a section dedicated to raids and trolling. Their main activity is trolling and raiding of other furries for their own amusement, or as they say, &amp;quot;For the lulz.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The admistrators from the original forum denied any involvement with The Infurgency, although they, and the LOLFurries as a website, had been accused of &amp;quot;Providing a safe haven&amp;quot; for members of the group.{{fact}} After these allegations were made in the form of an email to 40oz Hyena, one of the administrators, responded by saying:&lt;br /&gt;
{{q|&amp;quot;As far as the Infurgency goes. Yes, there are folks on here who claim to be Infurgents. But that is none of my business. As long as they don't break of the rules on LOLFurries, (which includes a request not to post hacking or raid threads) I have no reason to ban them. It is not the job of me, or any of the other Administrators of LOLFurries.org to be peoples parents. I don't care what they do outside of LOLFurries|40oz Hyena}}  &lt;br /&gt;
When asked right after if any of the administrators were members of The Infurgency, 40oz Hyena responded in a very short email:&lt;br /&gt;
{{q|That really is none of your business. lol|40oz Hyena}}&lt;br /&gt;

It is also known that a few LOLFurs were present at the smoking area when Tumbles made his leap into stardom.  40oz Hyena and Icono were the main two who were present.   40oz leaned over after the fall and said to Chyra:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Post Furtopia Attacks ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 12th, it was brought back online, but with Rabid Rick no longer the owner of the domain, but now &amp;quot;Under the control of 'The True LOLFurs' &amp;quot;, with Rabid Rick no longer invloved with the site due to the the friction over the February attacks on Furtopia. 40oz Hyena reports that everything is &amp;quot;Quite swell.&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Not to worry, our LULZ Generators are back up to full running capacity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Babyfur Public Service Announcements ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 25 LOLFurries.org released two Public Service Announcements that were intended for Babyfurs. The videos mocked Drug, Alcohol and similar PSA's claiming that LOLFurries.org was sending &amp;quot;A message of hope.&amp;quot; To Babyfurs and wanted to offer help to 'Heal' them of being Babyfurs. The videos being obvious works of satire meant to Mock Television PSA's.&lt;br /&gt;

== Splinter Groups ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Infurgency'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Infurgency is a small splinter group from LOLFurries comprised mostly of Furries who are also Anonynmous. Getting their name from the former /i/nsurgent board on 420chan, which was a section dedicated to raids and trolling. Their main activity is trolling and raiding of other furries for their own amusement or as they say &amp;quot;For the lulz.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
The Admistrators have denied any involvement with The Infurgency although they and the LOLFurries as a website has been accused of &amp;quot;Providing a safe haven.&amp;quot; for memebers of the group. After these allegations were made in the form of an Email to 40oz Hyena, one of the Administrators. He responded by saying:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;As far as the Infurgency goes. Yes, there are folks on here who claim to be Infurgents. But that is none of my business. As long as they don't break of the rules on LOLFurries, ( which includes a request not to post hacking or raid threads) I have no reason to ban them. It is not the job of me, or any of the other Administrators of LOLFurries.org to be peoples parents. I don't care what they do outside of LOLFurries.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When asked right after if any of the administrators were members of The Infurgency, 40oz Hyena Responded in a very short email: &amp;quot;That really is none of your business. lol.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== 2 reference ==&lt;br /&gt;
There is a reference in [http://www.lolfurries.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=24436&amp;amp;sid=69748ec06d1dcb345cc3127a5567e7c5 a forum thread] to &amp;quot;joking about the meme in 2's latest show&amp;quot;. I assume that would be a Februrary 2007 show. A confirmation and specific reference would be a good addition; not something I'm volunteering to track down myself as I don't find 2's show funny. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 03:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:That's impossible, since 2's rant was at 7:30PM Saturday night according to my conbook, and Tumbles took his dive early Sunday morning. 2 may have said something on his own about it, but it wasn't in his show. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 23:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Removal ==&lt;br /&gt;
I take exception to this article.  The incident itself, while cruelly amusing, has neither significance nor historical importance.  Its posting is nothing more than a leering attempt to make fun of an emotionally disturbed individual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do not believe that Wikifur (or any Wiki for that matter) should be used to pillory an individual merely for the amusement of others, under the guise of recording &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot;  It is bad enough that this person must suffer ridicule for making a mistake.  To record that mistake in what amounts to an encyclopedia serves no purpose other than to rob that person of the opportunity to learn from the mistake, to put it behind him, and to move on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all do dumb things.  When we do, we bear the smirks and the finger-pointing, and wait for it all to blow over -- unless, of course, someone decides to put it in a Wiki, in which case it will never blow over.  It becomes a lifelong sentence for a trivial affront.  That is not the purpose of the Wiki project. &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:UncleKage|UncleKage]] ([[User talk:UncleKage|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UncleKage|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!-- [Template:Unsigned] --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:So, with what your implying, any other person that might have made a mistake in the past, like Sibe or Mix, shouldn't have any of the bad things they did listed on the article even if they do turn around their ways and become the model citizen?  This I do not agree with, simply because it was obviously notable enough to write about, and that's why it exists here.  It was a major event that had an entire convention shut down for a period of time (I think they actually closed for the night after this happened, I honestly don't remember because I wasn't hanging around gawking).  That, in itself, gives it's mention merit.  Then again, what do I know.   --'''[[Banrai|&amp;lt;font color=#D02090&amp;gt;Banrai&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]]''' | &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=#A020F0&amp;gt;[[User_talk:Banrai|talk]]  &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; &amp;lt;font color=#EE6AA7&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=#0198E1&amp;gt;06&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=#EE6AA7&amp;gt;/&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=#0198E1&amp;gt;07&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=#EE6AA7&amp;gt;/&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=#0198E1&amp;gt;07&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=#EE6AA7&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;font color=#6B8E23&amp;gt;23.17&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; &amp;lt;font color=#EE6AA7&amp;gt;(UTC)&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:We do not generally take preemptive action in this kind of situation. If a person has a problem with our treatment of them, we suggest that they mention it, publicly or privately, and then it can be dealt with. Given the private nature of many individuals covered, we will usually do quite a reasonable amount to protect a person's identity upon their request. But they have to request it, otherwise we don't know they ''personally'' have a problem with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:(The exception to the above is where we collectively feel doing so would not be &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; - meaning &amp;quot;in the best interests of the fandom&amp;quot;. In that case, we might only do part of what they want - possibly a very small part. Such situations are not treated lightly. I usually end up arguing for the person, but I don't always succeed.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Others can certainly suggest that we exclude information, but there is a higher barrier to doing so; they have to convince WikiFur editors that it's a good idea, without the automatic argument that it is hurting the feelings of the person concerned. We will accept a person's word on that, but others cannot speak for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As far as I am aware, the person concerned has never edited WikiFur, nor have they contacted any of our administrators about this page. If they ''did'' make such a request, there are several things we might do; the most obvious one to me would be to move this article to the name [[Tumbles the Stairdragon]] (currently a redirect here), and remove mention of the person's fan name from the article. We have had had at least [[Talk:Further Confusion/Eyes of the Night|one previous situation]] where something similar was done. In that case, too, it was the incident rather than the person concerned which people considered particularly notable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I respectfully disagree with your assertion that people are prevented from moving on by truthful, accurate recording of their past actions. This argument has been made by several people trying to remove information from WikiFur, but it misses two big points: we do not control how they choose to live their lives, and we never fully close the book. Wikis are infinitely rewritable - and if the situation changes, then we can edit the articles as appropriate. When there are silly things; well, silly things fade, and future editors may become less interested in a full treatment, or it may be crowded out by further information. When there are &amp;quot;bad&amp;quot; things, we will be glad to record if they have made amends and if the community has &amp;quot;forgiven&amp;quot; them. But, just like the fandom itself, we do not wholly &amp;quot;forget&amp;quot;. [[User:GreenReaper/Thoughts on privacy|I think doing so would be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Moreover, I believe this ''is'' part of what we should be doing. We record history - and history has always been what people think was worth recording, the good and the bad. In a fandom, sometimes that history involves people who would not normally be public figures, and situations which would hardly make the News at 10. We do have some consideration and tact - which is why this ''wasn't'' a story on [[News:Front Page|WikiFur News]]. But if people want to know the origin of the term &amp;quot;Tumbles the Stairdragon&amp;quot;, then WikiFur is where we hope they will come, and where they should expect to find that information. There are certainly far worse places they could go - and the more we exclude, the more we encourage others to use those places for accurate information. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 23:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Just a little response from the peanut gallery - I was there, it was something that was talked about all day after it happened, and because it was so notable an &amp;quot;event&amp;quot; at a popular convention, it needs to be noted. One thing I appreciate about WikiFur is that it doesn't gloss over the negatively-percieved parts of furry fandom (zoophilia, plushophilia, and all those other things anti-furs tend to joke about); it's up front about it, and tries to give a neutral explanation about it. Sort of a: &amp;quot;Yeah, it's something furries are known for, so we won't pretend it doesn't happen, and we'll try to factually document it.&amp;quot; Chyra's pretty well known as Tumbles the Stairdragon; I think removing all references to it might be seen as an attempt from the furry fandom to try and cover up the less-than-positive things about the culture. As for making &amp;quot;trivial mistakes&amp;quot;? Honestly, if he had attempted suicide in the privacy of his own home, I wouldn't think it appropriate to list here, because that's his business and we're not a tabloid. But he forced this into a public issue when he pulled this at a 700+ person convention. Just my two cents. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 00:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::More from the peanut gallery. I think it would be a right idea to remove Chyra's name from this and just rename the article after Tumbles. After all, everyone knows Tumbles, but we don't generally know his name. It's a wellknown chapter of the furry fandom. The notoriety will fade in time, but there will always be someone saying hey, remember that FWA the Tumbles guy? For privacy sake, we could remove the Chyra reference and then if someone looks up Tumbles, there'd be no connection between them and we would still have recorded the history of the furry fandom with a clean and clear conscience. --[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 05:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I would have no problem with renaming this article to &amp;quot;Tumbles the Stairdragon&amp;quot; and removing Chyra's name either.  Unless he starts doing this on a regular basis at cons, it seems like an isolated incident.  --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 03:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::I don't really have a problem with doing it - more that we're doing it &amp;quot;to save him from himself&amp;quot;, so to speak, rather than at his request. But, if people here really think it's the right thing to do, I guess we can. I'm just concerned about the precedent it seems to set for people to come across something they don't like on an article about someone and demand that it be removed for that person's privacy - even though they've never been a contributor to the project and don't have authority to speak for the person concerned. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 14:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LOLFurries ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was at FWA 2007 when this occurred, and heard the nickname &amp;quot;Tumbles&amp;quot; being used only hours after the incident occurred (I'd give a more specific timeframe, but being woken up by roommates who were also angry staffers about having to stay up all night serving as security because of said Stairdragon made it a little difficult for me to remember the exact time XD). I'm not sure how soon this information was leaked to the intarwebs after it occurred, but I doubt it managed to get to LOLFurries and /back/ to the con for regular, casual use in a mere matter of hours. Either way, tracing back and pinpointing who coined the term first would be like trying to figure out who coined the term &amp;quot;yiff&amp;quot; - it was in widespread use before anyone could really figure out where it came from first. But I think it's safe to say that since the reference used that links to the LOLFurries forum has a first usage of the name &amp;quot;Tumbles&amp;quot; on February 23rd, 5 days after FWA ended, they didn't come up with it first. They can't even agree amongst themselves who purportedly came up with it first, which is why they said LOLFurries created it as a joint effort. Either way, I think a blanket coverall of &amp;quot;the furry fandom&amp;quot; will serve the purpose needed here. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 15:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I thought [[Foxen]] coined the word yiff.&lt;br /&gt;
:I hosted the room party he abruptly left, was by the stairs when he threw himself down and was around the crowd that, shortly after, drew the conclusion that he was a &amp;quot;dragon.&amp;quot;  I credit [[Mik Genocide]] for the name, but I honestly don't care enough to wiki-war over it.  --[[User:Icono|Icono]] 16:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Image:LOLFurriesLogo.jpg|right|LOLFurries]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''LOLfurries.org''' is a [[BBS]] forum for [[furs]] and other people to laugh, mock, and debate the biggest jokes and worst atrocities of the fandom, plus humanity in general. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Addressess''': &lt;br /&gt;
**'''Website''': http://www.lolfurries.org/&lt;br /&gt;
**'''IRC''': http://www.lolfurries.org/irc/&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Administrators''': [[Icono]], [[Mik Genocide]], [[RabidRick]], [[Romper]]&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ran from/to''': January 2006 - present&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the forum's content and attitude, LOLfurries is sometimes incorrectly labeled as an [[Anti-Furries|anti-fur]] site.  This is compounded by the fact that some of its posters also frequent [[Something Awful]], [[Crush Yiff Destroy]], and other like minded sites. Members have consistently denied this &amp;quot;anti-fur&amp;quot; stance publicly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The board was founded by [[Furtopia]] emigrants whose posts often caused friction with what they perceive as Furtopia's restrictive forum rules. They left in January of 2006, forming a temporary BBS while pursuing webspace and purchasing a domain name.  The website transferred over to its current location in March of 2006. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many posters to LOLfurries are in good standing at Furtopia, and some Furtopia posters joined LOLfurries.  Conflicts with Furtopia are still an occasional topic on the board, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tumbles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2007, several LOLfurries members witnessed an occurrence at [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] involving a fur by the name of [[Chyra]]. The &amp;quot;FWA Incident&amp;quot; involved Chyra flinging himself down a stairway in a possible suicide attempt. LOLFurries claim responsibility for the moniker that was given to him afterwards: &amp;quot;Tumbles the Stair Dragon&amp;quot;. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''[http://www.lolfurries.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1724 NO DIVING, PLZ]'' thread at LOLfurries.org&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
